Hi,

if anyone can use this directive? I have followed the description in the manual (although there could see a '# echo'). So my code looks like:

#if SYSTEM_CORE_CLOCK_24MHz

#error System core clock = 24 MHz

#define SYSTEM_CORE_CLOCK        24000000    //24MHz

#elif ....

thanks
lsbach

At what point will appear if I use the directive '# pragma message'?

At the compiler output just like #warning and #error.

I wanted the message appeared in stdrerr. At what point will appear if I use the directive '# pragma message'?

Please try to explain what you want to do.
Maybe you want something like...

#if SYSTEM_CORE_CLOCK_24MHz

#pragma message "System core clock = 24 MHz"

#define SYSTEM_CORE_CLOCK        24000000    //24MHz

#elif ....

#error is not supposed to "pass compilation", it is supposed to generate an error; that is the whole point of it. You would use it to trap compile-time problems such as not having defined a required macro, or having defined inconsistent or unsupported values for macros.
